Should you pick MBA at Loyola Institute of Technology?
This course suits students who want a low-cost MBA near Chennai and can live on a campus outside the city.
Pick it if:
You cleared TANCET but not by much: the OC seats here closed at 75.223 marks, well below the Chennai colleges most students list first.
You want the two-year cost kept low: tuition is INR 41,000 a year and a hostel room with mess is INR 39,500 a year.
You want a job at the end of it: 47 of the 54 students in the last MBA batch were placed, and TCS, Infosys and Wipro hire here.
You miss the online counselling rounds: the state holds an offline supplementary round at Coimbatore for the seats left over.
Skip it if:
You want to live inside Chennai: the campus is at Palanchur, about 30 km from the city centre, so most students take a room here.
You are counting on last year's closing marks: the OC close moved from 79.668 in 2025 to 75.223 in 2026, so one year is not a safe guide.
You want a big batch and many specialisations: this course takes 54 students a year and teaches one general MBA.
You want an average package before you pay: the college puts out how many were placed, not the average pay, so ask the placement cell in writing.
Counsellor's advice
If TANCA gives you this seat in the first round and your marks sit near the OC close, take it: the fee is fixed and low. If you are still waiting on a college inside the city, keep this one as your backup and confirm before the last date.

In short
S.A. Engineering College closed 10 marks higher and has 180 seats. If your marks sit near 75, keep this college as the safer choice and list S.A. Engineering College above it.
In short
Sri Sairam took students at 51 marks in the last round and has 240 seats, so it is the easier seat to get. If your marks sit below 75, list Sri Sairam first and this college next.
In short
SRM Easwari places more of its batch, but a hostel room there costs INR 1.57 Lakhs more over two years. If you can pay for the room, take SRM Easwari; if not, this seat costs far less.

FAQs on Loyola Institute of Technology MBA
Short answers to what students ask before they apply.
How do I get admission to this MBA?▾
You take the TANCET exam, then sign up for TANCA counselling. The seat comes on your marks and your choice order. After allotment you pay the fee and report with your original papers.
What is the full fee for the two years?▾
The tuition fee is INR 82,000 for the full course. With a hostel room and mess it comes to INR 1.61 Lakhs. Both totals sit in the fee block above.
What TANCET marks do I need for an OC seat?▾
The OC seats closed at 75.223 marks in round 1 of 2026. The checker above shows the marks for BC, BCM, MBC and SC as well.
How many MBA seats does the college have?▾
The course has 54 seats and state counselling fills all of them. There is one general MBA, so you do not pick a branch at entry.
Which scholarships can cut this fee?▾
Tamil Nadu pays the tuition fee of SC, ST, BC, MBC and DNC students through post matric scholarships. The calculator above shows what you can claim on your answers.
Does the college publish an average MBA package?▾
No. The placement page gives how many students were placed, not the average pay. In the 2025-26 batch, 47 of 54 MBA students were placed.
Do I need to stay in the hostel?▾
The campus is at Palanchur, about 30 km from central Chennai. A room with mess costs INR 39,500 a year, so many students stay on campus.
The college provides an accessible option for students with lower academic scores, accepting those with percentages as low as 58% and entrance exam scores from exams like Yancey. It is known for its affordable fee structure, with an annual tuition fee of 50,000 rupees, though additional costs such as transportation and a blazer can increase expenses. Over two years, tuition totals 80,000 rupees, excluding the 40,000 rupee non-refundable hostel fee.
Admission requires original certificates and completion of forms. The faculty, though relatively new graduates, effectively support students, providing quality practical sessions. Placement opportunities are limited, mainly in BPO and marketing, with only two students having secured positions via campus interviews. However, some recent success includes third-year students obtaining Amazon internships with a 60,000 INR monthly stipend. While the college is new, it hopes to emulate VIT-Vellore's strong placement record for future graduating batches.
Scholarships are available for students from backward communities and academic achievers, and a bonafide certificate can aid in securing educational loans.
